OVERVIEW

Heavy-Duty Precision for Industrial Welding

The ESAB Oxweld Style Welding Tip #15 (SKU: 639868) is a premium consumable designed for professional welders who demand reliability and precision in their oxy-fuel operations. Engineered to fit the industry-standard Oxweld W-17 and W-22 torch handles, this tip represents the pinnacle of gas welding performance. The #15 size indicates a large orifice capability, making it suitable for welding thicker gauges of steel where deep penetration and a substantial heat input are required. Unlike inferior multi-piece tips, this unit features a swaged copper construction that ensures a smooth, laminar gas flow, resulting in a stable and consistent flame that is easy to control.

Durability is a key component of the ESAB Oxweld line. The tip is manufactured from high-grade copper which offers excellent thermal conductivity, preventing the tip from overheating during prolonged use. This thermal efficiency not only extends the lifespan of the consumable but also reduces the risk of flashbacks caused by tip overheating. The coupling nut is chrome-plated to resist the adhesion of spatter and protect the threads from corrosion in harsh industrial environments. Whether you are working in a fabrication shop, a shipyard, or on a pipeline, this tip delivers the concentrated heat necessary for high-quality welds.

Optimized strictly for Acetylene gas, this tip produces the classic long-cone flame that welders prefer for its versatility and heat intensity. The flame structure allows for excellent puddle visibility and manipulation, critical for achieving sound mechanical bonds in structural repairs. By maintaining tight manufacturing tolerances, ESAB ensures that every #15 tip performs identically, allowing operators to swap consumables without needing to significantly readjust their pressure settings or technique.

Key Applications

  • Heavy Fabrication: Ideal for welding structural steel plates and heavy-wall tubing.
  • Maintenance & Repair: Perfect for repairing heavy machinery, castings, and industrial equipment.
  • Pre-heating: Can be used for localized heating applications where a cutting torch is too aggressive.

FAQ

This tip is designed to fit Oxweld W-17 and W-22 series torch handles.

No, this tip is designed specifically for use with Acetylene gas. Using it with alternate fuels may result in flame instability or overheating.

The #15 refers to the orifice size of the tip. In the Oxweld numbering system, a #15 is a large tip intended for welding thicker materials, typically requiring higher gas flow rates.

This is a one-piece swaged copper welding tip.

No, this is the tip only. It attaches to the mixer assembly on your W-17 or W-22 handle.

You should use a standard tip cleaner set. Select the wire file that fits the orifice snugly without forcing it, and move it in and out to remove carbon buildup.

The coupling nut is typically chrome-plated brass or steel to provide durability and corrosion resistance.

While exact capacity depends on technique, a size 15 Oxweld tip is generally used for materials ranging from 1/2 inch to 3/4 inch thick, or for heavy heating applications.
